Hearing that, Roxanne’s expression froze. She then pursed her lips and kept mum throughout the entire journey.
The car then slowly came to a halt at the entrance of Blossom Hotel.
When they arrived, it seemed like the banquet had already started because there were a bunch of luxurious cars parked in front of the hotel.
Seeing that, Roxanne grew anxious, and she wanted to rush into the hotel after getting out of the car.
With a frown, Lucian asked coldly, “Is this how you show your gratitude, Ms. Jarvis?”
Roxanne halted in her tracks and turned toward him with a puzzled look. After some hesitation, she said, “Thank you, Mr. Farwell.”

In a sarcastic tone, Lucian asked again, “That’s all, Ms. Jarvis?”
Roxanne was feeling anxious and helpless at the same time. However, she maintained her composure and answered, “What would you like me to do, Mr. Farwell? I don’t have
the time to treat you to a cup of coffee now.”
The last time Lucian did her a favor, she showed her appreciation by treating him to a cup of coffee.
Obviously, she didn’t have the time for that.
Lucian flashed an ambiguous smile and walked toward her. “What I want will not take up any of your time. It’s just that I need a female partner for the banquet. If you don’t

Lucian knew what she was doing, so in response, he purposely did the exact opposite.
Roxanne couldn’t help but stop walking before flashing a forced smile at him. “You have to socialize with the others, right, Mr. Farwell? I shall stay out of your way.”
With that, she slightly nodded at Lucian and walked in the opposite direction.
Lucian’s gaze darkened when he saw her making an escape. He didn’t stop her because he didn’t expect her to comply with his demand in the first place.

With that in mind, Lucian flashed a self-deprecațing smile.
Meanwhile, Roxanne walked away and arrived at a corner. She then raised her gaze and tried to spot Gerald in the crowd. Right then, a familiar voice rang out.
“Roxanne, are you and Mr. Farwell…” As one of the leading figures of the younger generation, Larry was also invited by Ziegler Group. Since he was free at that time, he
